Newspaper Licensing Agency
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Newspaper Licensing Agency (often shortened to NLA) is the collecting society for UK newspapers. Its role is to licence press cuttings agencies and media monitoring firms and act as an agent for its members in order to collect royalties for press cuttings.
The NLA was founded in 1996 by the following eight UK national newspaper publishers, who are equal shareholders:
- Associated Newspapers
- Financial Times
- Guardian Media Group
- Independent News & Media
- Northern and Shell
- News International
- Daily Telegraph
- Trinity Mirror
The NLA distributes over £18m each year to national and regional newspapers in respect of copyright works. In 2005 the NLA licensed over 800m copies of newspaper cuttings from more than 1,000 titles and collected licence fees from over 6000 licensees (representing over 150,000 organisations).
In 2006 the NLA launched eClips, an online database of newspaper cuttings.
